Getting rid of night nappies

[Debs]

connor has finally decided that he does not want to wear nappies anymore at night

since friday he has been nappy free, we have had wet trousers and bed every night, ive cut out drinks after a certain time but has anyone got any tips for me that worked for them??


he sleeps in the wee all night dosent wake at all to tell us hes wet!

[willow]

have you tried lifting him at night? this worked for one of my friends (not her !! but her son!!)

[Debs]

i tried it but he wont wake up enough to sit in loo, he has a wee before he goes to bed usually gets up a few times before actually sleeping

[willow]

thats the only thing i can think of!!
it has been so long since i trained niall, but i will have a think as i will have it to go through with niamh soon!!

[Debs]

its the one thing ive been dreading to be honest, the constant wet sheets and pjs are annoying me already!

[willow]

have you got plastic sheets for his bed? they save yukky matresses!!!

[Debs]

yeah they are brilliant, and im using pampers bed mats, still the duvet cover is getting wet and connor has moved in sleep and missed the mat!!

if only he had waited till teh hotter weather!

they have loads of new things now like nitetime pants which protect him when he sleeps until he stops

you can get duvet protectors i think too,
at least in the hotter weather you can open the windows and air the room out, in this weather you will freeze!!!!!

I would stick with it if I were you, I know it's not easy. I found with my daughter she tended to be dry all night but was wetting as morning came on. If you could get him up around 5ish or that if he is still dry then, he might get into the habit of it. I know it's not easy but don't go back to nappies now, you will only confuse him. I personally wouldn't go the route of pullup pants, they end up using them as a nappy.
